The national power grid has
collapsed twice within the last 24 hours causing blackouts in most states
across the country.
A daily report from the
Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) confirmed a system collapse on Wednesday
which reduced load allocations to the distribution companies.
The collapse came after the grid
recorded 4,212 megawatts on Wednesday morning.
Bode Fadipe, spokesperson of the
Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), later confirmed that allocation
has improved.
“Allocation to AEDC has improved.
We now have 70MW hence we are able to pick the following feeders H23, H35, H7
and H11 from AT3, FDR 2 and FDR 3 from AT5, DAM FDR from AT4, L36 and L31 from
Kukwaba Ts,” Fadipe said.
“We are instructed to maintain
station service in most of our injection substations. We shall continue to
brief the public as the system continue to improve and stabilise.”
However, on Thursday morning, the
power grid was reported to have suffered another collapse around 5:29am.
“Another system collapse occurred
this morning. 5:29am precisely. AEDC is currently on zero allocation,” Fadipe
stated.
The recent grid collapse is the
sixth to be recorded in 2019.
In January, the country’s power
grid collapsed twice. Also in April, there was at least two major collapses,
which had worsened power supply in most parts of the country.
